NHS Lanarkshire is seeking to appoint a Managed Service Provider for the provision of a managed service to the laboratory services across NHS Lanarkshire. This procurement will result in the appointment of a sole Managed Service Provider through a 2 stage tender process utilising the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation.

Where negotiation takes place, at the end of the negotiations bidders will be invited to submit a best and final offer. After evaluation, one bidder will be awarded to the contract. Further details are included in the procurement documents accompanying this Contract Notice. Additional information: The estimated value provided within this contract notice and accompanying documents does not include costs relating to indexation or exit provisions relating to continuity of service at the end of the initial contract term or any subsequent extensions.
